He is very clear with his points, his intentions, and his message surrounding drugs and addiction. Adi Jaffe, PhD, is a research psychologist, addiction specialist, and founder of IGNTD - Igniting Lives Beyond Limits. A nationally recognized speaker and expert on mental health and stigma, he has appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, Good Morning America, CNN and more. His Tedx Talk on shame has been seen by nearly 500,000 people. Adi’s approach to addiction is so incredible, as he lifts the shame around it to make it more suitable for progression and healing, offering grace in a conversation that tends to have none.

Adi’s own story is beautiful, and we appreciate his openness and honesty in sharing it with us all. We take a deep dive into who Adi was before he met Sophie—from selling ecstasy, to struggling with depression, to beginning to experiment with harder drugs, like meth. We hear the differences between the drugs he took, and how with each step he took, the harder it was to break free from the addiction. Adi also shares the reality of trying to rebuild a life after addiction and a criminal record, and the beginning stages of his relationship with Sophie. It is truly their differences that make the relationship strong, balanced, and beautiful. Adi tells us all about his brand new book,The Abstinence Myth, and what sparked this incredible take on the connection between abstinence and addiction.

]]>This conversation with Adi was so refreshing, and totally necessary given today’s climate. He is very clear with his points, his intentions, and his message surrounding drugs and addiction. Adi Jaffe, PhD, is a research psychologist, addiction specialist, and founder of IGNTD - Igniting Lives Beyond Limits. A nationally recognized speaker and expert on mental health and stigma, he has appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, Good Morning America, CNN and more. His Tedx Talk on shame has been seen by nearly 500,000 people. Adi’s approach to addiction is so incredible, as he lifts the shame around it to make it more suitable for progression and healing, offering grace in a conversation that tends to have none.

Adi’s own story is beautiful, and we appreciate his openness and honesty in sharing it with us all. We take a deep dive into who Adi was before he met Sophie — from selling ecstasy, to struggling with depression, to beginning to experiment with harder drugs, like meth. We hear the differences between the drugs he took, and how with each step he took, the harder it was to break free from the addiction. Adi also shares the reality of trying to rebuild a life after addiction and a criminal record, and the beginning stages of his relationship with Sophie. It is truly their differences that make the relationship strong, balanced, and beautiful. Adi tells us all about his brand new book, The Abstinence Myth, and what sparked this incredible take on the connection between abstinence and addiction.

Tim Braun is a world-renowned medium who has performed over 15,000 individual sittings across two decades, and has become the medium people connect with to heal in the wake of losing a loved one or immense loss.

Tim is so kind, funny, and intentional. He does not filter what comes through from the other side. His gift is to bring forth the messages from loved ones passed to those still in the physical world. Lindsey has been sitting with Tim once a year for about three years. Each time, she experiences deep healing in connecting with her loved ones and friends who have passed. Often times they have messages for her about what is currently happening in her life, which is immensely comforting and affirming that they are with us always.

Hello friends! Excited to introduce you to this week’s guest. Evita Robinson founded the NOMADNESS Travel Tribe, a first-of-its-kind movement bringing together and representing the underrepresented in mainstream travel. Their mission is to show the world that travel has no racial, gender, religious, economic, or interest limitations through community representation and relevancy (like the $50,000,000 being injected into the travel industry every year).

In today’s political climate, it’s more important than ever to get out and travel, meet different people, and immerse yourself in diverse cultures. It allows us to gain perspective and see ourselves as just a part of humanity; something to keep you modest, keep you grounded, and keep you connected to what’s REAL! We love the way Evita embodies this, and we know you are all going to love her.

We discuss…

A stark view of how people of color are underrepresented in the travel industry

The highs and lows of NOMADNESS’ group travel events (but mostly highs)

How NOMADNESS came to be

Reverse culture shock: when home feels like a foreign country

How Evita approaches building a community

Navigating a new challenge + stepping into your light

How social media changed travel

Evita’s relationship with spirituality

The Airbnb experience for people of color + partnering with Airbnb

Why you need people of color in your marketing teams + HR

Creating safe + sacred spaces

What’s next for NOMADNESS: the first U.S. festival for travelers of color!

Waking Up to Our Unconscious Biases with Thais SkyThu, 23 Aug 2018 10:00:00 +0000Thais Sky is a truth speaker, healer, women's coach, and feminist on a heart-led mission to have important conversations at the intersection of feminism + spirituality, and today she’s re-joining Lindsey + Krista to once again tackle some really big questions: How can we begin to dismantle our unconscious biases? How can we all be better allies to one another? And how can we provide a safe space for more conversations like these?

We are constantly striving to evolve ourselves and this show by bringing more diverse voices into the conversation –as always, we are learning right along with you all. So thank you for being to open and vulnerable

This episode includes…

Opportunities for growth

Being addicted to our shitty thoughts + shitty people

Trying not to compartmentalize our own spirituality

Feeling unworthy of your own self-care

We can't show up for others if we’re not showing up for ourselves.

Everything is about power dynamics

The governmental + societal systems that keep certain groups of people oppressed

How white women contribute to + benefit from racism

How we can REALLY educate ourselves about systematic oppression + privilege

If you don’t look at a wound, if you don’t take care of it, it’s going to get worse

As privileged white girls, what is our place in the conversation?

With privilege comes responsibility

Living in an emotionally illiterate culture

“You can’t love other people until you love yourself” sounds really nice – but that’s not necessarily the case!

How to avoid tokenizing people of color

When people say they’re “color blind”

People need to do this work imperfectly (because perfect just isn’t going to happen)

She is a beekeeper herself, an advocate for saving the bees (and our food supply) through sustainable beekeeping, and the Founder + CEO of Beekeeper’s Naturals.

If you haven’t heard of it yet, Beekeeper’s Naturals is an incredible company with a simple purpose: to bring us the highest quality products from the hive and nurture a greater awareness for saving our bees. Their naturally-sourced superfoods are effective alternatives to some of your typical, chemical-based OTC medicines – and these superfoods have become an important part of Lindsey + Krista’s daily routines as of late, helping them feel their best by leveraging the magic of nature!

Carly’s story also has a way of making you want to keep bees, too! Should we?!?! She’s so smart, so kind, and on a mission to #savethebees. This episode’s conversation includes…

How propolis changed Carly’s life + not being able to find any in Vancouver inspired her to start Beekeeper’s Naturals

Falling in love with beekeeping

The female-driven bee society

Why “organic” honey is actually extremely difficult to produce (even if it’s made on an organic farm)

Why we’re losing a disproportionate number of bees – and why that’s a HUGE problem!

Like what’s going in these mammal brains of ours? So Lindsey + Krista sat down with Loretta Breuning, PhD, a professor, an author, and the Founder of The Inner Mammal Institute. Loretta teaches people how to build power over their mammalian brain chemistry and understand nature’s operating system.

Because if we understand the science of what’s happening when we form habits or feel a certain way, we have the power to manipulate those chemicals, rewire our brains, and ultimately, live a better life. Are you ready to make peace with your inner mammal?

We discuss…

Early brain development

Why it’s so difficult to create new neural pathways in our brains after puberty

Our impulse to want more

Serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, & endorphin

The medical model VS the animal world

Ups + downs being NORMAL

Do animals have memories like we do?

Why the size of your brain directly correlates to the length of childhood (and the animal with the biggest brain)

The amazing miracle of reproduction

Breaking an addictive habit

Getting back to neutral after experiencing trauma

Endorphins + GABA

Every single person being wired for an individual experience (and feeling a little different from the herd)

Connie is a spiritual mentor who teaches dreaming as a spiritual practice and a unique form of theology, which centers around an understanding of each person’s life purpose.

Connie found her calling after contracting a mysterious virus and spending nearly two years of her life in bed. She slept, and she slept and slept and slept, and she experienced a profound spiritual transformation which altered not only her inner experience of life but her outer expression of life.

We kind of pass dreams off as being silly, crazy, or dumb, but they have a deep meaning and purpose. We spend half of our lives in this unconscious state – there’s so much happening and so much to be learned, if we choose to take control of it and use it as a method to transform. This conversation gets a little out there, but you know us! We talk about…

The illness that changed Connie’s life

How the moon affects our dreams + tracking your dreams according to the lunar cycle

Everyone’s unique dreaming pattern

Dreaming to heal

Just not feeling right in your job… and then chasing your bliss!

Cooking up vegan hot dogs + other service industry jobs

When Jaime met her husband almost a decade ago

Where the entrepreneurial spirit comes from

What products + ingredients Schmidt’s uses

Why clean beauty is so important (and the potential health risks of common body care products)

Getting these products in as many people’s hands as possible

Lauren shares with us how she suffered in silence with intense period pain and subsequent infections. When Lauren’s doctor informed her that tampon usage could be culpable for her chronic issues, she quit using them immediately and tried more than 30 alternative feminine hygiene products from all over the world (including the menstrual cup).

Already a successful businesswoman herself, Lauren ditched her career in Silicon Valley to meet a HUGE need in the female healthcare market. Lauren decided it was time to invest appropriate resources into creating a solution to the period woes women all around the world could identify with. A perfect storm of personal experience and business + marketing smarts, Lauren’s initiative has changed the menstruation game with thebestalternative to using tampons!

We discuss…

FLEX- A new period product called a “menstrual disc.” Tampons and menstrual cups, by design, “plug up” the vagina (causing cramping + bloating), while menstrual discs are meant to sit higher up, much like a diaphragm

HowFLEXcan be left in for 12 hours AND you can have sex while it’s inserted - no infections or cramps!

The way tampons absorb all bacteria, including the GOOD bacteria, and can often lead to an imbalance (+ subsequent vaginal infections)

Lauren’s transition from a career in Silicon Valley to becoming the Founder + CEO of a start-up (which included taking big risks + pitching to many male investors)

Addressing challenging relationship dynamics in the workplace through open and honest conversations (Lindsey + Krista also chime in on their experiences working together on Almost 30 Podcast)

How to give feedback well (Hint - ALWAYS lead with inquiry)

Men who feel afraid and embarrassed about not knowing how to help their girlfriends through intrusive PMS symptoms

Being a leader - a people and performance manager - as the Founder + CEO and, thereafter, shaping the workplace culture

Lauren’s TEDx talk (in the works) - She plans to present the sociological understanding that there is no such thing as “gay” or “straight,” but rather sexuality is a spectrum ( + her own experience falling in love with a woman)

Men embracing their feminine energy in heterosexual relationships (not necessarily being effeminate)
